week two, sunday.

[squelching]

[everything has truly happened so much this week. after the execution, saya is just quietly vibing in the void.

when she spots tama:]

... Is Ryuki's memory back to normal?

[wtf was up with that, ma'am.]

[ballies]

[ it's fine, don't worry about it. ]

He'll be fine. Sometimes he takes on a bit too much and it wears him out.

And there's been a lot going on.

[squelching]

[it did not seem fine!!]

Hmm...? So it's not the first time it's happened.

[ballies]

[ it’s fine! ]

You’ve never been so stressed that you got your head in a mess? Had a brain fog? I know I have. The last few weeks have been a lot for everyone, but … Ryuki’s the kind of person who take a lot of responsibility on himself.

[squelching]

Not stressed enough to forget I solved a murder just a week ago...

Well, as long as you think it's nothing to worry about.

[ballies]

[ she ain’t talking about her boy’s mental health ]

Saya… it’s not something I’m going to talk about. It’s not mine to talk about. But.. I’ll always keep an eye on him. And I know his team are as well.

[ she smiles, and shrugs. ]

It’s a lot, everything here. I wish there was a way to make it easier.

[squelching]

It's probably not going to get any easier until the competition is over. [...] If we can still call it that.

[ballies]

I know.

[ she really knows, and she’s so, so worried. but none of that shows on her face. ]

Oh, it’s still a competition. But I know that’s the last thought on my mind.

[squelching]

... Do you think they'll really send the winning team home?

[ballies]

…

I hope they will.

[squelching]

[...

in the tone of someone who wants to believe but is also not very optimistic:]

Yeah, hopefully.

[ballies]

[ that’s the mood. ]

Where would we go otherwise? Just…. remain here, trapped? Despite everything?

[squelching]

You read the note we found, right?

[ballies]

I did. That’s no better, Saya.

[squelching]

I know it's not.
